Organometallic Chemistry and Molekular Catalysis
Catalytic processes for industrial applications, e. g. olefin-metathesis, olefin oxidation, methane-refining (CH activation), hydroformylation under two-phase conditions, isotactic polypropylene, carbon-carbon coupling Multiple bonds between transition metalsMultiple bonds between transition metals and substituent-free main group elements Organolanthanoid complexes Water-soluble catalysts, e. g. for hydroformylation Inorganic and organic materials (material research: hardened ceramic materials, corrosion-resistent layers, polymers) |
